    Very much looking forward to seeing as many old Royals as can make it to Armed Forces Day this Saturday, 28 June. It’s a great opportunity to remind Edinburgh about The Royal Scots. Don’t worry if you cannot find your glengarry, medals, blazer, trews or brogues, just come along and catch up. Even better bring an old Royal pal who we may not have seen for a while.
    Yours Aye
    George

    Veterans’ Parade at the Cenotaph
    Sun 9 Nov 2025

    The annual Veterans’ Parade at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday has been advertised on the Upcoming Events page on the website and a notice has been circulated by email.

    The Royal Scots Association has been allocated 33 places. To date, 13 people have indicated their interest, so places are still available.

    If you wish to join the parade, or have an interest in doing so, please notify Brian de la Haye (bgdelahaye@yahoo.co.uk ) as soon as possible and certainly no later than 19 Sep 2025.

    MEMORY TEST

    Does anyone who served in 7/9 RS or 52 LOWLAND remember the colour scheme inside the Dalmeny Street Drill Hall before it was sold off? The Out Of The Blue team are keen to know more about their heritage.

      I’m very sad to learn of Gordon Strange’s death. I served with him in 6 platoon in the early 70’s. A very fine soldier with an even cooler head.
